Wow, its about time I update my little journal! Christmas will be here soon and we are thankful for MANY things!
Keira had her tonsils out and new eartubes put in last Wednesday, the 8th in Rochester. St. Mary's is so pretty at Christmastime I couldn't resist taking a few pics! Daren and I had commented on all the time we've spent there in the last 3+ years we have never been there around Christmas! Anyway, she did pretty well with it all and we spent one night.. which was Plenty.. ha.. and got to go home the next morning!
Nick had his Christmas concert last Friday.. it was Great! There was a nice variety of songs, great vocals, some action, it was very cute! Keira enjoyed it as well, and I think Nick enjoyed singing in it!
Daren will be working in Des Moines this winter, and will actually be working up until Christmas.. a first in a long time, he will have off the week after Christmas! We are happy that he is able to work so that I can take care of the kids!
Last but not least, the (dreaded) Christmas card... This is the first year since Nick was born that I didn't have a professional picture taken! So, I decided I would take my own pictures and design my own Christmas card using my "Memory Mixer" scrapbooking software. I spent at least an hour designing one, had a copy made at Wal-Mart and still had that "ick" feeling.. So I went back to the drawing board.. whipped another one up in 5 minutes flat, and decided to get half of each! I ordered them online.. they might be here by Christmas!
I hope everyone has a Peaceful and Joyful holiday season! Love, the holiens
